Faculty Book: Kevin Nadal

Kevin Nadal

Filipino American Psychology: A Collection of Personal Narratives
(AuthorHouse, 2010)

Nadal offers an intimate look at the lives of Filipino Americans through stories involving ethnic identity, colonial mentality, cultural conflicts, and experiences with gender, sexual orientation, and multiraciality. Writers courageously address how they cope with mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and suicide. Theories and concepts from the book’s predecessor, Filipino American Psychology: A Handbook of Theory, Research, and Clinical Practice, can be applied through the voices of a diverse collection of Filipino Americans. Kevin Nadal (Adj. Prof., John Jay, Psychology) is on the doctoral faculty in psychology.
